21. Heat and Humidity Policy 
CYFA Board reserves the right to cancel practice at any time.  Violations of this policy or CYFA practice cancellations may result in game forfeiture and/or Head Coach Removal.
Each Director will be in the possession of a Wet Bulb thermometer.  When the outdoor temperature (Standard thermometer reading) reaches 90 degrees or higher a Wet Bulb temperature will be taken at several intervals throughout the late afternoon.  When the reading on the Wet Bulb thermometer reaches 79-81 degrees, this is approaching critical level.  A coach has the following options: 
22. Heat and Humidity Policy 1.  Coach may cancel practice and reschedule for another day during that calendar week. NO Sundays 
     2. Practice may be pushed back 30 minutes and another Wet Bulb Reading taken.  If the Wet Bulb temperature reading drops below 79 degrees, practice (in full pads) may resume as normal with 5 minute water breaks every 15 minutes.  Helmet should be removed to allow for cooling.
     3. Practice may start on time WITHOUT shoulder pads (helmets only) doing a basic walk thru workout with water breaks every 15 minutes lasting no less than 5 minutes in duration.  Helmet should be removed to allow for cooling.  When the Wet Bulb reading goes below 79 degrees, practice in full pads may resume.
